âSo youâre
Brianâs expression darkened.
âWhat are you trying to say?â
âOh, nothing.
I was just wondering why youâre so loyal to Caleb.
Heâs an outsider after all.
â
Irritated by my implication, Brianâs face turned livid.
âThen who are you Loyal to?â he asked icily
The tension in the atmosphere was so thick that one couldâve sliced through it with a knife.
Finally, Caleb couldnât stand it anymore and said, âDebra, just let
Brian go.
I was the one who asked him to show me your medical records
Heâs a good doctor.
He wonât show your medical records to anyone else.
â
Only then did I pull my focus away from Brian
Caleb was right; he was the chief culprit, not Brian.
I shouldnât have vented all my anger on the latter
I withdrew my hostile eyes away from Brian.
Just then, I happened to catch a glimpse of a photo on his desk
It was a picture of him and a woman.
I knew the woman in the photo-it was none other than Emilyâs attending doctor, Melany.
He knew MeLany?
My eyebrows shot up in surprise.
The two were both doctors, but they couldnât be more different.
Melany gave up on her high-paying job in the hospital to save the small town in secret.
Brian, on the other hand, stayed cozy in his job in the hospital and even leaked private information of his patient to Caleb
It was so damn upsetting.
The difference between them was really huge.
Noticing that I was staring at the photo, Brian asked curiously, âDo you know Melany, too?â

His voice pulled me back to my senses.
I immediately shook my head and said, âNo.
I just thought that sheâs very beautiful.
â
I didnât want others to know that I knew Melany, lest I bring her any trouble.
Brianâs expression softened.
Smiling slightly, he said, âYes, sheâs a very beautiful woman.
â
Honestly, I was hell-bent on reporting Brian to his superior, but after finding out that he knew Melany, I decided to give up on that idea
For Melanyâs sake, Iâd let him go for the time being.
